Telluride Scorched.

Telluride got heat up a little bit
on the night Of the 18th. The new
Court House, which cost about
$4,000, along with several other
buildings were annihilated by fire.
The fire started at about IL 80 p. m.
in the private room of w. H. Nc
Cormick, over the Mccormick
Hardware Co.'S. establishment, and
is supposed to have been started by
a lamp exploding. A party of men
had been playing whist there and
had gone out to get luncheon. They
had not been gone over ten minutes
when huge volumes of smoke were
observed issuing from the room.
The water works were out of order
and water could not be gotten in
time to do any good. The total loss
is estimated at about $4,000, and
not more than hall insured.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no
doubt has largely benefited the
consumers, as we'll as relieving the
burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with
Greens August Flower and Ros-
chee's German Syrup, as the reduc-
tion of thirty-six cents per dozen,
has been added to increase the size
of the bottles containing these rem
idies, thereby giving one-f fifth more
medicine in the Is cent size. The
August Flower for dyspepsia and
liver complaint, and the German
Syrup for cough and lung troubles,
have, perhaps, the largest sale Of
any medicines in the world. The
advantage Of increased size of the
bottles will be greately appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, in every
town and village in civilized coun-
tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents
remain the same size.

that has won the first prize two sue
cessive races. He won first mony

with a sudden desire to read news

Notes Of General Interest.
Our Winter Sport.

(wRIrrEN FOR THE CURRENT BY y. EvILJ
'Tis not sport of childhood, nN
Nor is it called play;
It always does our OLD folks good,
And makes the young folks gay.
It gives our lassies bright red cheeks,
And our lsddies those Of brown;
It makes the old folks pleasure seek,
And Of all sports it's the crown.
For you always get plenty exercise
While climbing up the hill;
And when deccnding how the snow flies
When you show your acrcbtaic skill.
It is the sport Of sports of all sports,
This one we cherish So
It is justly called the open port
Of Heaven here below.
In wonder, no longer will keep you,
But straight-way let me know,
That it is the Norwegian snow-shoe
We use for gliding o'or the snow.
Now just try this little episode,
Then straight-way let me know;
How many successive times you dove
Head-first in the snow.

First Race Of the G. c. SIS. Club.

The Much talked of snow-shoe
race Of this Gunnison County Snow
Shoe Club which was to have taken
place on Sunday, last, at Crested
Butte was postponed until Monday
on account Of snow-storm; but it
is needless to say it suited the
members of the club much better,
as they did not care to be in a
storm, while it suited the citizens
who wished to witness the sport as
they did not want to be in the storm
much less break the Sabbath.
A large crowd came out on snow
shoes and in sleighs to witness the
fun, among them were all the
young ladies who highly enjoyed
the tramp on shoes.
A splendid track was selected,
north of town, on what is known as
the Chicken Ranch hill, and a
course laid out to run three at
time. Ten entries were made and
the winner Of two heats laid off for
the final run to determine the win
ner of the prizes. The enteries
were Tom Boughton, Frank Will
Jams AL and Fred johnson of Crys-
tai River, Chal Baney, Jos. II.
Block, Ed Barthel, George and
Henry Miller, of Crested Butte.
and Ed E. Warren, gentleman at
large. All made splendid runs and
our spoor boy" Ed, got through
the flags in good shape, fast time
was made and only two falls was
recorded on the track. The winners
Of the heats were Frank Williams,
Tom Boughton and Ed Barthel,
who took their position for the final
run, and they came down the hill
in the order above named, Williams
first ct cmtera; giving the honors to
our boys Of Crystal, in good shape.
After the race several young
ladies climbed the hill to make the
decent, showing splendid skill in
the art Of snow-shoeing on our
mountain shoes.
A1ot Ter race was arra need TO take
place in Gunnison yesterday, Fri
day )providing snow could be found
within ten miles OF that town sufici-
ent to run on, the particulars Of
which we have not received yet, but
will give in our next issue.
NOTES.
The day was fine for shoeing.
The club painted the town red.
Joe Block is quite an acrobat
rider.
So our editor got left-so did we
all alone in the Office.
Capt. Burton eat too much dinner
to be present ct the race.
